Edyta Sitar, the queen of scrap has created this incredible quilt with the te-tiniest rainbow of prints and batiks.

April’s version is just screaming summer picnic with a graphic layout.

It is kind of funny how this all came to happen and I wanted to share a bit of the back story. One of the editors at APQ, Elizabeth Tisenger sensed a trend of four patch quilt projects during her quilt submission process. Instead of choosing, she thought what the hey, each one is so different in size and construction, let’s feature them all.

Look for the April issue on Newstands or your favorite storeFebruary 3rd for the complete instructions on all 3 versions.

So now it is up to you to pick your favorite technique and design, choose your fabrics or use this project as a scrap buster and quiltalong with us.

Be sure and share your progress with us by using the #APQquiltalong.I also have a pinterest board where I post as many pics as I can find across the world wide web.http://www.pinterest.com/modalissa/apqquiltalong/

Here are just a few of the quilters that you will want to follow along as they share their version of the #APQquiltalong.

Oh I want to make one just like the first picture (that one is yours isn't it?) – so soft, so scrappy, so wonderful! Off to search my stash for background prints. Can't wait to get my copy of APQ this month!

I love your version the best and really wish I had the time to squeeze this in. I have more than enough scraps to bust too. 🙂 I'm going to keep considering my deadline schedule to figure out if I can play along too.
